A Recording Form for Differential Diagnosis of Arthropathies
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
The present study is focused on a group of arthropathies that may have very similar bone manifestations (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and diffuse ...
Heterogeneous Preferences for Public Goods Provided by Agriculture in a Region of Intensive Agricultural Production: The Case of the Marchfeld
(MDPI, 2018-06)
The aim of this paper is to elicit the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for the improved provision of public goods (PGs) by agriculture in a region of intensive agricultural production, embodying many of the environmental ...
The complex association between the antioxidant defense system and clinical status in early psychosis
(Public Library Science, 2018-04-26)
Oxidative stress is a pathophysiological mechanism potentially involved in psychiatric disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between total antioxidant status (TAS) and the functional status ...
Temperature responsive PEG-based polyurethanes “ a la carte”
(Elsevier, 2017-06-22)
Temperature responsive polymers able to alter their chemical or physical properties have been extensively
investigated. Most of these polymers have an alkane polymer backbone with only carbon-carbon
bonds. In this sense, ...

(MDPI, 2018-11-19)
In the last few decades, sustainability performance measuring has become a widely-studied issue, and various measurement proposals have been put forward. However, it is also important to know whether those measures are ...
Sustainable Renewable Energy by Means of Using Residual Forest Biomass
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)
The substitution of energy based on fossil fuel by bioenergy could be an effective solution to reduce external energy dependency, thereby promoting sustainable development. This article details a study of the use of biomass ...
Biodegradable Polycarbonate Iongels for Electrophysiology Measurements
(MDPI, 2018-09)
In recent years, gels based on ionic liquids incorporated into polymer matrices, namely iongels, have emerged as long-term contact media for cutaneous electrophysiology. Iongels possess high ionic conductivity and negligible ...

Adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT, CyaA) is one of the important virulence factors secreted by the whooping cough bacterium Bordetella pertussis, and it is essential for the colonization of the human respiratory tract by this ...
CALE: Learning by Example in Mathematics with Applets in Mathematical Computational Packages
(MDPI, 2018-10-28)
In this work we present a methodology of “learning by example” assisted by computers in the study of mathematics. We propose the use of mathematical computational packages to program applets aimed to solve mathematical ...
Professionals’ perception of intimate partner violence in young people: a qualitative study in northern Spain
(Biomed Central, 2017-07-20)
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem with devastating effects on young women's health. These negative effects increase when the exposure to IPV lasts for a long time and exposure at an ...
